A Modern Classic Eurorack LPG New & Improved in STEREO!! // Stereo State Gate Stereo Field from SSF

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new 'stereo field' version of the Steady State Gate from SSF (Steady State Fate). It's a revamped circuit design with added features and new stereo functions that builds on what I think is a bit of a modern classic, the Steady State Gate from 2022. It's a re imagining and expanded LPG or low pass gate that has on board wave shaping, versatile filtering options and stereo field (stereo image, creation, control and modulation thereof) controls. It's beautifully musical and dynamic, check out the patches below."

"The Steady State Gate Stereo Field (SSGSF) is a stereo low-pass gate module combining dynamic filtering, timbre shaping, and stereo field control to produce rich, evolving textures with spatial effects. Suitable for both stereo and mono sources, it offers extensive modulation possibilities for expressive sound design.

Newly designed signal path with updated Timbre and Qaos response and control.

True stereo design utilizing a curated mid-side signal chain that provides processing features for stereo, as well as mono input signals.

Stereo and mono signal processing including psychoacoustic panning and stereo field enhancement with voltage control and two 'FIELD" modes.

New CV/GATE LPG control input. Can be used simultaneously with EXCITE for more dynamic and rhythmic effects."

Only 16 Samples?! This Minimal Eurorack Techno Slaps!

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"I wanted to see what I could create using ONLY 16 samples.

This is a really basic setup with triggers and modulation only, no pitch sequencing.

This setup also does not allow for any velocity programming, every sound triggers at 100% max velocity - making it almost impossible to program build ups to help with the ebb and flow of the track.

I also did not have any room for riser or impact sounds which really help with keeping the intensity level a bit higher.

All things considered though, it's not a half bad track - just a little basic, perhaps... ;)

Modular is better when it's dynamic! // 3 patches with Impulse Dynamics by Steady State Fate (SSF)

video upload by DivKid

"In this 3 patches* video we look at the Impulse Dynamics by Steady State Fate, a 6HP Eurorack module that generates pulses and envelopes and controls them (or external signals) dynamically. Which is to say it can vary the level of them over time. There's some clever digital VCA zero cross tech in the design for syncing audio and modulation sources and the ability to process modulation or audio while also doing the thing I love which is adding dynamics (think velocity, or level changes) to envelopes and envelope decays over time.

*3 patches is my shorter demo series that distills what I typically make (longer in depth fulsome affairs) into a trio of patches and ideas. It's also more exploratory in pace, so I hope you enjoy and follow along!"

Lo-Pass Gates (LPG) | From the Buchla 292 to Mutable Streams

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I've been using a lot of LPG models, including a few that don't use vactrols. However, I use the Buchla 292 as a reference because it represents the original design. If it doesn't (at least) sound like a 292, it's not a LPG in the classic sense. But it can still be something better or cooler. Manufacturers have the freedom and creativity to build on it, and make it their own, like the QMMG, Streams and the Steady State Gate.

The MakeNoise modules are strongly represented, because it's cool to see all the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between modules. They're all unique signs of the times.

I wish I could include the Rabid Elephant Natural Gate because it may be the most natural gate around, and seriously missing in this collection. It is advertised to be 'strike speed aware', and it also knows that a high note rings shorter. I managed to find a reasonably priced one in Germany and it's on its way to the Lab. It also seems the Rabid Elephant website came back to life, so hopefully they're producing again.

It's funny, but I got Mutable Streams about six years ago and couldn't position it next to the Veils VCA. I remember buying it for the compressor. At the time I had no idea what a LPG was. The manual talked about Buchla, but what the hell did I know. I remember watching DivKid's video, but at the time it sounded like Russian poetry.

Now I know what an LPG is, but my encounter with Streams is about 24 hours young. I remembered a little vactrol symbol on Streams (I am blessed with photographic memory), so I looked it up in my box of forgotten modules, read the manual and was surprised to read it's a dedicated LPG module. All modes have something to do with a low pass gate. I patched it up and was blown away by the possibilities you probably already know about. But I need to learn too, especially stuff I have lying around unused for many years.

The Return of a Eurorack Classic // Ultra Random Redux by Steady State Fate

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the return of what I think is fair to say a Eurorack classic. The Ultra Random Redux is a new version of the 2014 release, the Ultra Random Analog. It’s a powerful and flexible random voltage generator and processor for both audio and CV applications.

Throughout the video I’ll go through each section and feature with musical examples that will show you how you can use these features and apply these things to your systems, whether specifically with the Ultra Random Redux or just applying these patch ideas with things you already have. Give them a try and let me know how you get on in the comments."

Mega Metallic Eurorack Percussion (& beyond!!) // Entity Metalloid from Steady State Fate

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the newest Eurorack module in the Entity range from Steady State Fate … METALLOID PERCUSSION. This is a simple set of controls for what is under the hood and much more complex circuit for synthesising metallic and noise based percussion. There’s 3 analogue oscillators which get ring modulated alongside having an FM bus for the most metally (move over Metallica) of metal noise sounds! This metallic noise synthesis is then split into two voices with multimode filters, VCAs and envelopes to control and create a huge range of percussion sounds. The trigger inputs are also dynamic, offering a velocity style (loud to quiet) dynamic and musical response to varying input material.

In the video I get snares, claps, rides, crashes, hi hats, gongs, video game coin collection sounds, Star Wars pod racers and plenty more! It’s not a clone of anything, nor is it meant to make one sound. But it’s easily bendable and shapeable to take the place of many classic percussion sounds. Check out the sounds in the timing index below and skip around as you like."

SSF Steady State Gate vs Erica Synths Black LPG: Listening to resonance

video upload by John Schussler

"A recent thread on ModWiggler brought up the question of resonance on low pass gate modules, and it occurred to me I hadn't really compared the Steady State Gate
from SSF (which has resonance) to the Erica Synths Black LPG (which also has resonance). Resonance isn't wildly common in LPGs, so it seemed worthwhile to listen to both and see what differences I heard.

Yes, there are more LPGs out there that include resonance. I don't have them, I just have these. Yes, they're very different modules with different feature sets, but I figure the resonant part can be examined somewhat separately from the rest.

Maybe not. We'll see.

VCO is a Befaco Pony. Sequencer is a Clank Chaos.

Test after moving the Noise Engineering BIM VCO into this folding modular case. I like it!

video upload by John L Rice

"The gate out of the SSL The Matrix sequencer is patched to the SSL/YuSynth clock divider with one output going to the Basimilus Iteritas Magnus and the other two outputs triggering State FX Dual Trigger Processor (5U Mutable Instruments Peaks) envelopes that are modulating the audio out of The Matrix via a Happy Nerding Fun VCF and Grove Audio quad VCA. (the audio out of the Matrix also goes to the quad VCA and its level is just manually controlled) All four outputs of the Martin Jan Koehler Tidal Modulator (5U Mutable Instruments Tides) go to a Moon Modular 525 quandary attenuator and then to various inputs of the Noise Engineering BIM to vary the sound. #modularsynth #sequencer #electronicmusic"
